General Question

What is the best way to learn SEO (Search Engine Optimization) techniques?

I realize there are other SEO questions on Fluther, but I didn’t see any with regard to the best resources available for learning how to do it yourself. The whole industry is littered with misinformation, scams, etc. Any suggestions for legit resources (books, blogs, podcasts, screencasts etc.) to learn how it’s done?

I’m not at all sure if this is what you want to know, but try this. Pull up Google’s web page. At the top of the screen you get a bunch of links:
Web, Images, Videos, Maps, News, Shopping, Gmail, and more

A relatively easy way is to use the free Google Analytics and WebMaster Tools. Set up an iGoogle account for yourself and start using them.There is a lot of explanation as to hows, whys, and wherefors as well as the tools you need to effect changes on your sites.
